SOVA2 [1]3 years ago
7 0
The Townshend Acts were issued by Parliament. The acts were duties or taxes on many different items imported by America. The items that were taxed were lead, glass, paint, paper, and the infamous tea. Because of America's resistance to being ruled by an outside party, there was a lot of pushback and eventually, Parliament withdrew all taxes from this Act, except for the tax on tea. All of these taxes enacted by Parliament were considered unlawful, and later on would be unconstitutional. This principle is known as "taxation without representation." The colonies did not have anyone representing them in the Parliament. Therefore, any taxes or laws pertaining to the colonies were considered an overreach of power by Britain.

Which of these conflicts caused India to be divided into two independent countries?
rjkz [21]

____________________________________________________

Answer:

Your answer would be B). Hindus and Muslims in the colony of India could not resolve their religious differences.

____________________________________________________

The conflicts that caused India to be divided into two independent countries was because Hindus and Muslims in the colony of India could not resolve their religious differences.

____________________________________________________

Explanation:

The reason why "B). Hindus and Muslims in the colony of India could not resolve their religious differences" is the correct answer because there has been a huge debate between the Hindus and Muslims to determine what religion should mainly be in India. And they didn't agree on each others religions.

The Hindus believed that their religion should be the dominant in India, but the Muslims thought otherwise. Religion is a big thing for the Hindus and Muslims, and they wanted to be in a place where the majority of its people are practicing the religion they are practicing. This led to India being divided into two different countries. They split into two different countries because they couldn't solve the religion in the colony, in other words, they didn't like the other beliefs of the other people other than theirs. The Muslims took of Pakistan, while the Hindus took over the east and central part of India. They split into two different countries so that they could practice their own religion without having to worry about another religion being practiced in their land. This conflict between them about religion has being going on for a long time, pretty much centuries.

____________________________________________________

Why the other answer choices are incorrect:

Answer choice "A. British loyalists fought with revolutionaries over the next Indian prime minister. " is incorrect because:

The British didn't fight with the revolutionaries for the next Indian prime minister. When the British were colonizing, they were most likely trying to take control over the country they are colonizing, meaning that they would allow a Indian prime minister to lead because the Indian prime minister would be against of what they're doing. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.

Answer choice "C. Mohandas Gandhi's supporters conflicted with those who believed he harmed India. " is incorrect because:

They was no major conflicts that led to a separation in countries because of Gandhi. Even though there were people that felt like he was harming India, this was not the thing that led to the split into two different countries. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.

Answer choice "D. Communists and democrats fought over India's economic policies. " is incorrect because:

This is also something that didn't cause the split into two different countries in India. Them fighting for India's economical policies would give them the land, not cause them to decide to split the land up. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.
